I guess I will be the first to post this everyday unless someone east of India decides to get into the act.
Even then, he will have to get up in the middle of the night to beat me!

Nope.
The new puzzle of the day is made available in every location just after midnight local time.
One has to be in Tonga or some such place and wake up at midnight to be the first to solve the puzzle.
My sleep patterns are disturbed and I wake up around 1 am India Standard Time and, being sleepless, I solve a Sudoku puzzle and then attempt Wordle of the day.
That would be 6:30 am in Sydney. Somebody, if he is motivated enough, can get up that early and beat me to be the first one to post on CodeProject.😁😁😁

I was in class, and a classmate shared it with our teacher(btw this is a virtual school, the classroom being the "science lab") and the teacher in there was doing it. He started using WordHippo and the student started yelling "That's Cheating", and everyone agreed, including the two other teachers in the room  .

I've got a beast of a piece of hardware. This little widget here:
Lilygo T5 4.7" E-Paper Device[^]
It's an all in one system, with the display panel deeply embedded into how the whole thing operates, and that's where it gets weird design-wise.
When I say deeply embedded I mean something like 14 pins on the main system are tied up to driving the display. Meanwhile, the display itself has a framebuffer which must be stored in the SoC's extended PSRAM in order to function. And finally, to drive the display requires hardware specific to the ESP32 SoC it's attached to. (Though I guess someone particularly ambitious could get it to work on a STM32 but there wouldn't be enough RAM)
There's no way I'm driving this e-paper panel outside this unit itself.
The whole thing is deeply integrated, to where it doesn't really make sense to segregate the display code from the hardware it runs on. For example, all my pin assignments can be hard coded, because they are hardwired on this device. I can assume 4MB of RAM (16 really, but 4 available under the Arduino framework), and I can make specific calls into the SoC's RTOS.
This shouldn't be causing me design issues, but every instinct in me is crying out to compartmentalize this code - like not assume pin assignments or the presence of an ESP32 WROVER, or anything like that. That's silly. I have no reason to do it. It doesn't make sense to do it. So why such a strong pull in that direction?
So I'm sitting here, tapping at VS Code in fits and starts, and I don't really know where to begin because I have to work against my instincts as a developer.
Maybe I *should* compartmentalize it just so I can operate within my normal parameters, but that would greatly complicate a lot of the code.
One problem with coding all my life is my instincts are too strong at this point.

honey the codewitch wrote: Maybe I should compartmentalize it just so I can operate within my normal parameters, but that would greatly complicate a lot of the code.
But if it uncomplicates creating the code, it is worth it.
Or go all the way, and start using gotos everywhere! Once you are tired of that, you will find a happy middle ground!

I bounced it off someone on the esp32 subreddit and i feel a bit better about it now. I think just needed to hear another developer tell me overengineering this thing was going to be a fool's errand.

Your job sounds to me like a heck of a lot of fun. Even if you do use C++. 
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

This is my own project, but my job does entail work much like this, and I actually use work product from my own projects in my commercial endeavors, so there's a lot of cross over. There's a fair chance something I learn building this will benefit me professionally later on.

I was robbed at a gas station this morning.
After I stopped trembling and regained my composure I called the police.
When they arrived the police person asked me if I knew who robbed me.
I said yes, pump number 3.

You're don't live in a place that calls it petrol, so do you own a Tesla or something?

No, Americans call it gas or gasoline... so I don't know where he's from...

Yeah, he is either being funny or he is not from America but has an American flag for his profile pic.
I refuse to believe that anyone from America would not know what a "gas station" is. My SIL's youngest child, 7 years old, knows what a gas station is.
